"Promise Champions" Reception Gala
During the event, Sandy Hook Promise will be celebrating U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján and U.S. Senator Todd Young, whose work has helped bring national awareness to violence prevention and school safety.
Special musical guest Bootsy Collins will be performing during the event. Collins, an advocate for gun violence prevention, is best known for his legacy as the bassist of Parliament Funkadelic.
The gala is hosted by Sandy Hook Promise, a national nonprofit that educates and empowers youth and adults to prevent violence in schools, homes, and communities. The organization’s evidence-informed “Know the Signs” prevention programs teach youth and adults how to identify the warning signs that someone may be in crisis, socially isolated, at-risk of hurting themselves or others, and when and how to get help. These programs are proven to have prevented at least 16 credible planned school shooting attacks, hundreds of youth suicides, and countless other acts of violence and self-harm.
